Title: Kayoko Kodama: Innovator in Vacuum Evaporation Technology
Introduction
Kayoko Kodama is a prominent inventor based in Osaka, Japan. She has made significant contributions to the field of vacuum evaporation technology, holding 2 patents that showcase her innovative approach to material deposition processes.
Latest Patents
Kodama's latest patents include a vacuum evaporation apparatus and a method for supplying vacuum evaporation material. The vacuum evaporation apparatus features a melting pot that contains the evaporating material and a movable partition. This partition separates the surface of the evaporating material into a supplying surface and an evaporating surface during the deposition process. Once the deposition is complete, the partition is lifted away from the surface. The method for supplying vacuum evaporation material involves a first material that is heated by electron beams in a crucible. As a thin film is formed on a substrate, a second long supply material is fed in a positive direction, maintaining an average feed speed by alternately switching the feed direction.
